Chapter 348 An unexpected solution
"What?" A middle-aged man in a suit asked James, "Did he steal the card?"
"Yes, he's from China, and he's only been here for about ten days..." James looked at Qiu Huoming with disdain, "He's an uncivilized savage, I'm afraid he doesn't even know what mathematics is..."
The staff held Qiu Huoming back with their hands. A thin, silver-haired old man came over. They walked towards James together. "Sir, please show me your invitation card."
James subconsciously handed over the card he had been holding in his hand.
The thin, silver-haired old man took the card and read the other party's name. "Mr. James, please leave. You are not welcome to attend our conference this time."
James looked up in astonishment, "Why?"
"Mathematics has no borders, which is also the purpose of our hosting of the International Congress of Mathematicians."
"I don't accept it. I'm only targeting that guy." James pulled down the collar of his shirt, revealing the bruises on his neck. "Look, this is what this wild guy did."
Qiu Huoming said loudly: "If you do it again, I will still beat you up. You called the people of our country trash. In my opinion, you have a dirty mind and you are the real trash."
James was surprised to find that Qiu Huoming's English was standard and fluent, and he didn't look like a Chinese who came here for the first time at all.
As soon as the words fell, everyone around glared at James.
This conference brings together mathematical geniuses and industry giants from many countries around the world. If someone insults their own countrymen, they will fight back. Several conferences were cancelled due to war.
People of this era are extremely eager for peace.
Therefore, the purpose of the conference, 'Mathematics without Borders' is also the wish of most people.
"Please leave." The silver-haired old man reiterated.
James took a step back. The middle-aged man next to him looked at him with disgust, reached out and pushed him out of the team.
His ears were red and bleeding. He looked at the people around him, then looked at Qiu Huoming who was not far away, and suddenly asked in a coy voice: "If I apologize to him, can you let me in?"
"It's true that I was wrong, but he stole other people's cards, or cards that were given to him by others..." This time James was smart and changed his way of speaking, "That is also a violation of the rules. You can't just punish me and not him."
The silver-haired old man laughed in anger. He turned around and explained loudly to the others: "This Mr. Qiu is our distinguished guest. He came to attend the meeting openly..."
He then looked at James, "I repeat again, please leave."
James didn't know when he left.
He had a look of dismay, with his ears buzzing with the noisy voices of the people around him. He didn't know how far he had walked before he finally stopped. He looked back at the meeting room behind him. The line there was getting shorter and shorter, and most people had already gone in.
He was originally one of the participants, and participating in this event added a strong stroke to his professional resume.
The reason for his leave today was to attend the International Congress of Mathematicians, but right now...
He pulled off his tie and found a tavern.
The tavern was not open at all in the morning. He knocked on the door and heard the bartender's impatient voice from inside, "It's closed. Come back in the evening."
"Give me a drink and I'll pay for it," James shouted.
The door opened, and the bartender wearily shouted, "Go away, you won't do it even if you pay more. Go away, don't disturb us."
James was furious, "You bully me too, do you know who I am?"
"I'm……"
Before he could finish, the bartender grabbed him by the collar. His face turned red from the bartender's strong force. Then, he was pushed out of the eaves by the bartender, "Get out! If you knock on the door again, I'll break your legs."
The bartender glared at him fiercely, turned back into the pub and closed the door again.
James sat in the open space at the door, and his mind began to gradually clear up.
He came out of his dazed state, and James stood up. Just as he took a few steps away, the wind started to blow, and the clear weather suddenly became overcast.
He ran quickly, but after running just a few dozen meters, heavy rain began to pour down.
James simply stopped walking. The brand new suit he was wearing today was ruined...
His leather shoes stepped into the puddle and he wiped his face with his hand.
For a moment he was confused again. How did he end up in this situation after coming out so early in the morning?
At the International Congress of Mathematicians, Qiu Huoming was placed in the front row. He was a little flattered. The staff who had led him here specially had a card with his name on it.
No matter how you look at it, the seats are pre-arranged. Qiu Huoming is a little flustered. The silver-haired old man who drove James away at the door sat next to him. He looked up and saw the chairman of the meeting, 'Oritz'...
Oritz smiled and said, "Mr. Qiu, if it weren't for you being in the United States, our meeting would have been held in my country..."
Qiu Huoming quickly stood up and said, "I'm so sorry, I didn't know it would be like this."
Oritz pulled him back to his seat. "It's not your fault. It's just that..."
"Hey, it's just a joke. I'm just happy to see you."
Qiu Huoming finally breathed a sigh of relief. This man was from Poland and was very famous. There were two chairmen in the conference and he took up one seat. He was a well-known figure both in the mathematics community at that time and in Europe. Chinese people might not know him, but at Stanford, almost every math teacher knew him when his name was mentioned.
This kind of person was so kind to him, Qiu Huoming felt like he was walking in clouds.
"Mr. Qiu, excuse me, could you go on stage and talk about your 'Fermat Conjecture' tomorrow morning? We only have one hour, and this proposal is a bit hasty. You can go back and think about it carefully in the afternoon, or..."
"We were not sure you could come before, so this part has not been confirmed. Now that you are here, the conference organizing committee really hopes you can participate."
Oritz smiled warmly. "Please consider this."
Qiu Huoming raised the corner of his mouth, "No need to prepare, I can go on stage anytime." Every word of this guess was in his mind, ready to use at any time.
"Hahaha, they are young people after all." Oritz was delighted. "Then it's a deal. I'll talk to the conference organizing committee."
The old man was in a hurry. Qiu Huoming nodded, "I'm fine."
"Okay, wait a moment." Oritz combed his silver hair and walked out quickly.
I hadn't been waiting for long at the venue when I heard the sound of rain coming in from outside.
The people behind were locals from the beautiful country. Someone in the middle said with a smile, "Every time you come to San Francisco for vacation, you have to get used to the weather here. It's like a beautiful woman, she can change her face at any time."
"Hahahaha, beauties need to be coaxed..."
These people seem serious, but they are just as good at telling jokes.
The meeting officially began. Ninety percent of the people in the first row were already seated, and the venue fell silent.
Everyone was listening to the speech of the chairman of the conference, who was another chairman, Oduiqi. His words were brief. This grand event in the mathematics world, which is held every four years, is comparable to the Nobel Prize.
Every mathematician strives to gain recognition from the conference.
The conference has set up the 'Fields Medal', which is only for mathematicians under the age of 40. Its purpose is to inspire young people...
The number of winners each time is controlled within 4 people, and it is hailed as an honor more difficult to obtain than the Nobel Prize.
After the brief speech, the judges were introduced.
Qiu Huoming listened carefully. He had a good memory and remembered the names of all the people who walked on the stage.
The next step is the highlight, the nomination process begins.
The first of these is the 'Fields Medal'.
There were four nominees in total, and Qiu Huoming was surprised to find that his name was among them.
At the main venue of the conference, specially invited guests have one hour for academic presentations. In addition, several sub-venues have been set up. Some mathematicians can apply in advance to publish their papers at the conference and have 20 minutes of presentation time.
I have to say that the conference organizing committee was very attentive and gave everyone the opportunity to show themselves.
Qiu Huoming will participate in a one-hour academic report at the main venue tomorrow.
He was in the middle of it, and couldn't help but feel his blood boiling.
All those who can be nominated are young people, so the number cannot be large. Those who are older, although they have great achievements, will miss the award because of their age limit.
In order to make up for this shortcoming, the conference added some other awards after 98, which not only increased the prize money but also removed the age limit.
But the Fields Medal continues to serve young people.
After the nominations are completed, the academic conference officially begins, and everyone who comes on stage has the opportunity to explain their academic work for one hour.
This kind of event not only allows one to showcase one's talents, but is also the best place to learn. Many geniuses have gained inspiration from the collision of knowledge among high-level intellectuals, thus making progress in their academic studies.
Qiu Huoming was fascinated by what was being said. These people at the scene were not only able to speak, but some of them could also take out models or perform deductions on the spot. These people were all top mathematical geniuses in the world today.
At the conference venue, every day is precious.
At noon, the tea break began. It lasted for an hour and a half. Everyone did not leave but walked around.
Qiu Huoming is no exception. Since he was nominated, people have been coming to him one after another.
There are two aspects about him that attract attention. One is his Chinese identity, and the other is his age. You should know that his official age is only 19 years old, which is amazing. If he is allowed to grow up, his future will be limitless.
Qiu Huoming took some time to go over and get a cup of coffee and ate a few snacks. Only then did he feel his empty stomach felt a little more settled.
Not far away, a lady in her thirties with her hair tied up walked over with a plate of sushi.
"Mr. Qiu?"
Qiu Huoming was slightly stunned, "From Sakura Country?"
"Exactly."
The other party handed him a plate of sushi and said, "I made this at home. My name is Kawaguchi Akie, and I'm also a math teacher. You can call me Teacher Keiko. I heard that you are also studying at Stanford. I've never met you before..."
Qiu Huoming saw that she was a teacher from his school, so he didn't hesitate to take the sushi and said, "Thank you, Teacher Huizi. I'm hungry, so I'd be disrespectful to refuse..."
Teacher Huizi smiled and said, "I have prepared a lot. There is more over there. Please enjoy it."
Qiu Huoming leaned over to look, and sure enough, there were quite a few sushis placed there.
He ate them one by one, devouring them with relish. He still liked rice better. He had eaten too much Western food here. Although he was not picky about food, he was really a little bored of eating like this every day.
"I didn't expect Mr. Qiu to be so young. After this meeting, I would like to invite you to some small gatherings in our school..."
Qiu Huoming subconsciously thought of the friends' gatherings that William and his friends often attended. He smiled and said, "No problem, as long as you don't dislike me."
"How could that be? Mr. Qiu is a young talent. If I don't propose this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to get in line after this meeting..."
Qiu Huoming finished the sushi on the plate and felt full. He pretended to be arrogant and joked, "You're welcome. You're a teacher at school, so you always have priority..."
Teacher Huizi couldn't help but laugh...
After a while, someone else joined the chat. Qiu Huoming was very tactful and his words were very precise. In such occasions, one naturally had to be careful with what one said. Fortunately, the people here were all academics, they were not too narrow-minded and liked to play it straight.
A few people were chatting, and someone started arguing because of a different opinion on a certain concept. Soon, more and more people started to join in the argument.
Several people around Qiu Huoming also came over.
Qiu Huoming immediately breathed a sigh of relief and began to struggle around several plates.
After eating so much, it was a pity that there was no soup. Qiu Huoming missed the chicken soup made by Chen Suniang. When he thought of this, he suddenly felt that he could have another meal.
Oritz, who was not far from him, glanced at him and smiled to his colleague: "It's good to be young. You can still eat until now..."
His colleague followed his gaze and couldn't help but laugh, "Should we set out some Chinese food as well?"
Oritz was stunned when he heard this. "Oh, yes, but it doesn't matter. We can invite him to dinner tonight. We can go to Chinatown to eat..."
"Isn't it specially prepared for this young man?"
"I didn't originally, but now, I think it's okay to prepare for him. He's a 19-year-old boy. Think about it, what did we do when we were 19?"
Oritz looked at his colleague with a mischievous look on his face.
My colleague laughed out loud, "When I was 19, I cried my throat out because of the girl next door..."
The two looked at each other and couldn't stop laughing.
Qiu Huoming finally filled his appetite in this round.
He breathed a sigh of relief and went to get another bottle of mineral water. While drinking it, he looked at the group of adults who were arguing.
This group of people are really cute. Each of them is arguing at the top of their lungs to defend what they believe is the truth.
Qiu Huoming looked at it for a long time and suddenly covered his stomach.
He had eaten too much, so he looked around, saw the sign for the restroom, and ran over quickly.
Oritz, who had been watching him from the side, laughed again.
"Let's go. It's not appropriate to make such a noise. Let's go and pull it..."
Two people walked towards the battle group...
